You could always learn to play the drums and do all your practicing when he goes to bed.....
Or...give him some fluffy slippers as a present, but he may take that the wrong way"If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier"Comment

I think HermanDune is a new 'character', a challenger for Wilmslow's crown (The Polyester Tie Award).
I wonder who's responsible....Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.Comment

Originally posted by HermanDune View PostI live in an old house subdivided into with poor sound insulation.
The chap upstairs from me (aka Bigfoot) has recently taken to rising at 5:30am to get ready for work. I am awoken when he jumps out of bed and starts walking around the creaky floorboards. He pads around for ages making more noise, and then runs down the stairs which back onto my bedroom.
I can then not get back to sleep.
Do you think such a complaint is one that could be dealt with by my council's environmental health department? Or should I learn to live with it and deprive myself of sleep. It is quite detrimental to my current role where I am trying to learn new skills, as I am exhausted by 2:30pm.
I don't wish to move as I am five minutes walk from the city centre and 30 seconds walk to the park. It's a nice house with some interesting historical connections.

I have the opposite problem, with a guy who lives downstairs from me in this old converted house in the city. I have to do the early shift so means getting up 5-30am and in consequence have to sleep early. Only problem is the guy downstairs is very active until well after midnight with loud TV, music and general stomping around. I have trouble getting more than a few hours sleep and recently he has been giving me threatening looks and I think that he is trying to drive me out. Do you think the council can help me?Comment
